Print Recipe

A quick and easy homemade version of the iconic Starbucks Pink Drink, featuring hibiscus tea, freeze-dried strawberries, and creamy coconut milk for a refreshing, dairy-free treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 hibiscus tea bags
  • 2 cups (480 ml) hot water
  • 1/4 cup (15 g) freeze-dried strawberries (or fresh strawberries)
  • 1 cup (240 ml) coconut milk (canned or refrigerated carton)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) simple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: fresh strawberry slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Boil 2 cups (480 ml) of water. Pour over 2 hibiscus tea bags in a heatproof pitcher. Let steep for 5-7 minutes until the liquid turns a rich pink-red color. Remove the tea bags gently.
  2. Stir in 1/4 cup (15 g) of freeze-dried strawberries. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to blend flavors.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of simple syrup. Stir well until dissolved. Adjust sweetness as desired.
  4. Let the tea cool to room temperature (about 10-15 minutes) or chill in the fridge for 20 minutes to prevent coconut milk from curdling.
  5. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of coconut milk and stir gently to combine. The tea will turn a light pink color.
  6. Fill tall glasses with ice cubes. Pour the pink drink over the ice.
  7. Garnish with fresh strawberry slices if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not add coconut milk while the tea is hot to avoid curdling. Use freeze-dried strawberries for concentrated flavor without watering down the drink. Simple syrup dissolves better than granulated sugar. The recipe can be doubled easily. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 24 hours and stir before serving.
